Rich: the problem is that the gnome-settings-daemon shows a keyboard indicator applet on the panel when the Ubuntu-specific "indicator applet" isn't shown.
As I've noted in comment #21, The gnome-settings-daemon keyboard indicator does not indicate the layout - it just shows a keyboard icon and you actually have to open it to figure out what layout is being used. The Ubuntu specific indicator applet that uses a menu system to show icons for "activities" (*) works correctly, but this bug report is not about the "indicator applet", its about the gnome-settings-daemon keyboard applet. (*) which is a weird distinction - I understand how copying files is an activity and possibly how being connected to the network in activity, but I don't see how having a volume control or a keyboard layout control is an activity. -- New Lucid keyboard layout indicator does not indicate current layout https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/531173 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
